SB189 creates a special fund to collect money from civil lawsuits and settlements related to riot damages, with that money used to pay for state costs of responding to and recovering from riots. The fund is set up as a continuous appropriation, meaning the state can spend collected money without needing approval each year, and the bill declares an emergency so these provisions take effect immediately.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
